[Rean seems to have forgotten exactly how awful of an instructor Sara could be, now that he's an instructor himself.

But, regardless, moving on from that. He hums a little, thoughtfully, as he nuzzles in against Elliot a bit.]

Hm... well, what I want most is dinner, and then... to just lay down with you, I think. Hold you like this for a while.

[Elliot's reading the vibe correctly. Not that Rean is doing a great job of hiding anything, of course, because he even sounds tired. But despite that, there's still a warmth and a fondness to his voice when he talks about just cuddling with Elliot.

He can't help but be grateful, that he's allowed to just have this sort of thing.]
